A good deal of the snarling now current
in democratic papers against Minister
Phelps for various things done and not
done at the Court of St. James, comes
from the Atlanta, Ga, Constitution. The
cause of the luminosity of the Constitution
is thus explained: Atlanta has military
company, which IS the pet OF the people of
that city. This company made arrange
ments to go to Europe during the present
season, proposing to spend the greater
part of the time in England and Ireland.
Foreign governments, as a rule, do not
like to have military organizations of
other countries parading within their
borders, when they can prevent it. In
this case the application for permission
for the Atlanta Guards to march through
London and Dublin with their arms and
in uniform, was the less likely to be grant
ed by the English government from the
fact that Captain Burke, the commander
of the Guards, had been prominent at a
meeting held to protest against the pas
sage of the coercion bill. which the Brit
ish government is pressing through par
lament. And because Mr.. Phelps,
through whom the request was made,
did not secure the desired permission, the
Atlanta Guards and their organ the Con-
StitutiOn, are very angry; and are not
only doing a good deal of twisting of the
lions tail, but are berating Mr.. Phelps
for not bringing the surly beast to terms. If
much of the scolding reaches Mr.. Phelps
ears, it may have tendency to lessen a
trihe his old admiration of the Southern
chivalry.

Gov ernor Foraker of Ohio in recent

Gov ernor Foraker of Ohio in recent
interview said to a reporter:
l have no doubt in the world that if del
egates to the national republican conven-
ton were to be selected to-day Ohio would
send solid Sherman delegation. / tell
you, and you can tell the world, if there's
any doubt about it, that Pm for Sherman.
II were for Blaine I'd say so, and if for
Foraker I'd say SO.
Mr.. Sherman seems to be gaining
ground as a candidate for the republican
nomination; but it is one thing to be a
leading candidate and quite another to
get nomination.

one of the results of the fresh vigor
gained by President Cleveland on his fish
ing vacation, is perhaps seen in the an
nouncement of the appointment of Clar-
ence IL. Pitkin, Esq, of Montpelier, to be
United States district attorney for the dis
trict of Vermont, vice Kittredge Haskins,
Esq, of Brattleboro, who has held the
Office for seven years past. That Mr.. Pit
kin should have the place was long ago
agreed upon by the democratic bosses, and
his appointment has been merely ques-
ton of time. Mr.. Pitkin is a lawyer in
good standing, son of Gen. p. p. Pitkin
of Montpelier, bred in the republican
faith, who switched off into "indepen-
dence" and is now, we suppose, demo
crat pure and simple. He is no donbt as
well fitted for the place as any of the
younger democratic lawyers in the State,

1t is not often that a suit against a State
is successful, but now and then one is. In
1869 the State of North Carolina issued
bonds to the amount of 100000 pay
ment of which, principal and interest, was
provided for by a special tax of one eighth
of one per cent on the State list. The
State defaulted on the bonds, a citizen of
the State brought suit for payment of the
coupons and the United States District
Court holds that the tax must be collected
forthwith.

The condition of some of the South
American cities as regards cleanliness is
brought out by the fact that when fear of
the cholera led to general cleaning of

Confederation, 10000 carloads of refuse

worse than scores of other large places ia
South and Central America, and it is

sixty feet. Her injuries proved fatal. 1t
